Key learnings today:

Tanya- I learnt that you can use 3 X tables in your fractions and your division knowledge.  

Grace- I learnt 1/3 of 60 is 20 because 

60 shared into three groups is 20 or 20 X 3 = 60. 

Isabelle - I learnt division and times helps us with our fractions.  Fractions must be equal parts. 

Vera - I learnt that 1/3 of 9 is 3 and that 1/3 of 90 is 30- I'm adding in tend not ones.
